Deuteronomy 16:18
| ← Deuteronomy 16:17 | Deuteronomy 16:18 (KJV) | Deuteronomy 16:19 → |
|---|---|---|
Every man [shall give] as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
|
Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
|
Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
